Three weeks into the season and college football is not giving us great stuff to watch. It’s kind of like waiting all week to have that steak on the grill and it winds up being full of fat and gristle. It’s still steak, but there’s a little let down. Last weekend had good matchups but only 1 game was a great game. This weekend there are few good matchups. Of course there will be good games along the way, but on paper, the matchups are not inspiring.

Nebraska at WashingtonThis weekend offers up one game besides the Penn State game that has piqued my interest, Nebraska at Washington. I find this game interesting for two reasons. It is one of the few games that could short-circuit Nebraska’s run to an undefeated season and it’s a chance to see Washington’s highly touted QB Jake Locker.

Nebraska is one of the top ten teams with the easiest schedule this year. They will be favored in every game they play. Here is the list of “difficult” games they have this year.

At Washington

At Kansas State

Texas

Missouri

Not exactly murders row. The toughest game is probably Texas at home. Washington may have the best QB that they are going to see. Can the Nebraska offense score enough points to keep up or can that Nebraska defense hold the Huskies down?

Jake LockerJake Locker is being hailed as the next great NFL QB. It will be interesting to see how he fares against the vaunted Nebraska defense. He hasn’t won much in Washington but he has organized an upset or two.
